Checking in here, on 2.4 for a while now. Issues the entire time, no resolution.
APR continues to play stupid. I've opened a support case, offered logs, APR and the dealer still maintain that "No one else is having this issue" despite me referencing this thread to them & talking about specifics.
Whether in D or M, the first few gears are HORRID. Driving around town is HORRIBLE. Creeping in R or D from slow speed is HORRID. I've done an adaptation through VCDS and the issue just comes back. Clearly it's their tune
What's the game plan APR? All these people throwing hardware/gapping plugs/dv's at the problem, only for this adapatation to fudge up and issues return.
Going in tomorrow to go back to 1.2, that was APR's solution!!!! LOL
That's not the response I wanted to see. I've been talking about this issue forever. With some of the more recent posts I really thought APR was finally gonna do something to help you guys.
I'm actually pissed after reading your post. Going back to 1.2 is a terrible fucking solution.
I just feel bad for anyone that still has this issue and can't easily purchase a tune from someone else to get rid of this trash.
If you've been trying to work with them, been in communication with them, with logs ready, and their solution is still to switch you back to 1.2 then they don't deserve anyones business. Apparently they're a tuning company that can't tune.
They should be getting so much more shit for this than they actually are, but you'll still see everybody telling other people to go APR. Why should APR fix anything when they won't be affected at all I guess. I get that not everybody has this issue and it seems to be a small portion of people with issues, but do you see the other major tuners having issues like this, and if they are having issues do you see them putting old versions of a tune back on peoples cars as a fix? Did any other tuners beta test a tune for a year+ and then immediately start having people report issues the day the new tune was released? Did any other tuners then have to beta a released software for another 6~ months while going through multiple revisions while still having issues on the final revision?
Like there's a thread about the golf mk8 on this forum right now and someone posted, 'I wonder what apr could do on a tune with an electric motor?' Well I fuckin don't because I sure as shit wouldn't spend another dime on an APR product.
Sorry, but not sorry for this rant. I'm just pissed. I don't have any APR tune anymore, but I was really hoping to see them working with you guys to get this fixed. To see you were told you need to go back to 1.2 for it to be fixed just makes me even happier I switched to stratified.
